E-TEN Information Systems announces the glofiish M700, a Pocket PC Phone to feature a sliding QWERTY keyboard. The product also supports a full compliment of communications standards and is currently the only device in this category to offer both Wi-Fi and GPS.

Just a few weeks ago, E-TEN captured headlines with two landmark announcements; the launch of a new consumer brand for Pocket PC Phones and accessories, glofiish , and the release of one of the world's thinnest all-in-one communications devices, the glofiish X500 . Today E-TEN brings to market the glofiish M700, a full-featured communications device optimized for rapid messaging and high mobile productivity.

Based on the latest version of Windows Mobile 5.0, the glofiish M700 supports Direct Push Technology to help business users work more effectively with email even while out of the office and includes mobile versions of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint for greater convenience and productivity.

The glofiish M700 supports GSM, GPRS and high-speed EDGE for voice and data connectivity almost worldwide, while IEEE 802.11b/g support allows users to connect to public and private Wi-Fi networks when in range of suitable hotspots. For travelers, the glofiish M700 also features GPS and TMC functions delivered via an embedded SiRF Star III chipset allowing the glofiish M700 to handle both daily business needs and weekend leisure. Preloaded on the glofiish M700 are a number of E-TEN in-house developed value added software utilities including; M-Desk, an easy to use Program launcher, several phone and messaging tools, camera and image editing software, FM tuner, backup utility and more.

The Glofiish M700 is scheduled to launch in November 2006.
